BREVE FICHA INFORMATIVA DE AMIGOS DE LA TIERRA INTERNACIONAL REPASO DEL CONCEPTO DE EQUIDAD

This fact sheet by Friends of the Earth International defines equity in the context of climate change, arguing that developed nations bear a historical responsibility to lead emission reductions and provide financial and technological support to developing nations. It advocates for a global carbon budget distributed based on responsibility, capacity, and the right to sustainable societies, while calling for a systemic economic transformation to replace neoliberalism with an equitable system.

• Equity in addressing climate change requires that countries with the highest historical greenhouse gas emissions implement the most significant reductions to ensure a just distribution of the carbon budget. Developed nations are identified as having a 'gigantic climate and ecological debt' to developing nations due to historical overconsumption and the exploitation of resources.
• Developed countries must drastically reduce national emissions at the source and provide funding, intellectual-property-free technologies, and capacity building to developing nations. This support should include financing for adaptation, loss, and damage, and must avoid 'false solutions' such as carbon markets or emission offsets.
• Developing nations are urged to avoid carbon-based development paths and 'dirty energies' to protect their communities and environment, instead pursuing a 'just transition' and the immediate phase-out of unsustainable energy sources.
• The global carbon budget, defined as the emissions allowed to limit temperature rise to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, should be allocated based on three criteria: historical responsibility for climate pressure, financial and institutional capacity, and the needs of the most vulnerable and future generations.
• Maintaining a temperature increase below 1.5°C is considered technically and economically viable by the Stockholm Environment Institute and the World Bank. However, because the average temperature has already risen by 0.8°C and another 0.6°C is deemed inevitable, achieving this goal requires an immediate revolution in energy production, consumption, food, and transport.
